    Excavator clay as a background?

    I actually have 2 mature pokies with backgrounds made of cork and clay (in 18" exoterras). Took some experimenting to get the right moisture level, and I layered it mainly in cracks between cork as opposed to big freestanding areas. Tanks are fairly heavy (especially since we keep em on top...

    Silicone Smell Safe?

    Revisiting this thread once again haha. So one of the tanks is fine now, smell has dissipated, but the other still has the silicone smell. Were talking like 3-4 months of venting and still not much change. I tried poking tons of holes, submerging in water overnight on multiple occasions, letting...

    Silicone Smell Safe?

    The foam underneath should be dry though, I let that cure for a few days. You cant tell, but I actually used wooden 2×4 bits and styrofoam blocks under the expanding foam to prop it up, it's not just giant piles of spray hehe.

    Silicone Smell Safe?

    Forgot about this thread but came back and saw the suggestions, thanks guys. It's been over a month and they still smell. I guess I overdid it a bit lol. I'll try watering and sitting in the sun. Hopefully the substrate doesnt get totally washed off. And yes I did have this issue some years...

    Silicone Smell Safe?

    It is a little squishy, but its silicone and foam, both somewhat squishy substances lol. Maybe I'll poke some holes in it, but I dont wanna damage it too much. Thx

    Silicone Smell Safe?

    Been awhile since I've posted but I had some spare time to work on tanks and noticed this. I used expanding foam covered in brown silicone with substrate over it to make this base. Still have a lot to add to these tanks before I put two of my sub-AF pamphos in here. It's been about 2 weeks now...

    Cyriopagopus sp. hati hati

    In general this genus tends to be on the bigger side. Reclusive but beautiful, and from what I've heard females are harder to find as sacs have higher Male ratio supposedly. I'd buy for that price! I have a 1.5" sling that comes out often. My MM C. Schiodeti died last year and was about 5"...

    Want to keep your rights to Ts? Poecilotheria owners, breeders or dealers

    If you read the document there's a section about captive breed species in the hobby. Basically they dont meet the criteria for reintroduction into the wild because the muddled genealogy (accidental hybridization) and lack of diversity in the gene pool if not cross bred. Sounds like a good idea...

    Why so defensive??

    Oh wow that's a lot cheaper then I realized coldblood! Vinny, If they're complaining about prices being too low it's because your a threat to their business. It seems that prices are arbitrary anyway, with vendors charging at random. You'll see a sling on one site for $40 and then for $80 on a...

    Why so defensive??

    Perhaps you are right. I thought the fee to be a premium member with sales posting abilities was like $50.

    Why so defensive??

    Lol I know dennis... was just referring to his customer service, not his ethics. I'm sure there are plenty other nice vendors out there Overall I feel like there are less options out there now then a few years ago. Between AB charging for sales posts, and some dealers closing up shop. Seems...

    Why so defensive??

    Not to get into politics of spider dealing... but I miss the customer service of guys like Junior (jrs inverts) and Paul Becker (pet center usa). Super friendly, helpful, and quick to offer freebies of your choice...

    Why so defensive??

    To add a few more details about the negative interaction with the online vendor (I'm Mrshaas' husband)... The website offered free shipping on orders over $200 (a clue for those of you trying to figure out who's the vendor), but the vendor then complained about having to ship for free across...

    [Inquiry] Norcal invert dealers or keepers or clubs?

    Just saw this... my wife (@MrsHaas) and I would be interested in something like this too. We're in the East Bay and have 50+ it's. As far as Arachnoiden, just ordered from em and guy was being rude. Complained about having to ship to CA for free after I spent over $200...

    Looks a little light for chordy... they tend to be darker not so yellowish. No chance of being Harpactira sp?

    Beautiful spider regardless... definitely not a vagans. Abdomen way too bright red.
